98-year-old Dick Van Dyke appears in the new Coldplay video, “All My Love”.  He sings, dances, and even sits down at a piano to watch Chris Martin compose a song for him.

Morgan Wallen is a man of mystery.  He won CMA Entertainer of the Year and still hasn’t even said anything about it. In general, he doesn’t post or share much, so it’s tough to get updates on him . . . especially since his One Night at a Time Tour wrapped back in October. But if you bought a ticket for his tour . . . you were just treated to an exclusive, surprise video from Morgan. He said, “I just wanted to say thank you personally and give you an opportunity to have something cool at the same time.  I’m working.  I’m taking a little time for myself but I’m working also.  Can’t wait to get back out there and see y’all at some point next year.”

Chris wrote 12 of the 14 songs on “Traveller”.   “Traveller” also won Album of the Year at the CMAs . . . Best Country Album at the Grammys . . . and is certified 6x Platinum.

Shania Twain is 59 years old . . . but she doesn’t dress like the average 59-year-old woman.  And she doesn’t dress COUNTRY either. Shania wore a sexy, nude, and sequined bodysuit during a recent Vegas show . . . and some country fans are criticizing her style online. One person said, “Is that a rhinestone Depend [adult diaper]?”  Someone else called her, “Country Madonna.”  Another said, “I
